Sharleen lost 6st 9lbs* with LighterLife which transformed her life and helped her land her dream job as a flight attendant.
“My weight started to become an issue when I was 23, living in a house share, my boyfriend and I would often eat out to have some time to ourselves. My dream job was to be a flight attendant but I never got passed the first interview. Eventually I accepted a job as a holiday rep in Spain, I stayed in a hotel and all my food was included, almost every day I’d have a cooked breakfast, lunch and buffet dinner. The weight piled on. I missed my boyfriend and turned to food when I felt lonely.
In October 2012 I got back from Spain and weighed myself for the first time. I’d gone from 11st to 16st! I felt so miserable. The final straw was my brothers wedding, I had to buy a dress I didn’t like because nothing else fit me, I felt self-conscious all day. It was at this point that I turned to LighterLife.
The group work made me realise that being overweight was affecting everything I did in life, my weight was holding me back. I learned so much about myself and most importantly I learned to allow myself time to think about a situation and how I can resolve it without automatically turning to food.
When I reached my goal weight I was so emotional and proud of myself, my boyfriend has noticed a complete change in my personality and loves the new confident me. When I moved on to LighterLife Management I found a new outlook on food – I know that food is not the enemy – I’m in control of what I eat.
After losing the weight and with my confidence booming I applied for another air hostess position. I wore a size 8 suit and felt fabulous. I got the job and can’t wait to start in the new year. I’ve taken up running, completing a few half-marathons, I’ve got everything I wished for. I’ll forever be thankful to LighterLife.”
